JAKARTA - The insistence of fans on JKT48 management to dismiss Fufuritsu, or Fritz Fernandez from the General Manager position has not been implemented. From the official statement released today, August 4, it was stated that no violations had been committed by the person concerned.
The case of a busy vulgar birthday cake in cyberspace has been investigated internally by IDN, the company that oversees JKT48. In the statement, it was stated that Fritz's activities took place outside of working hours and did not bring the JKT48 institution.
"Based on the search results, the documentation was taken in 2021 in the context of a birthday surprise event initiated personally by other parties, without any interference or involvement in the planning of the party concerned. The event is private and closed, carried out outside of working hours, and is not related to JKT48's professional activities," reads a statement uploaded to the X @officialjkt48 account on August 4.
The results of the investigation also explained that the documentation of several JKT48 members was said to be in the same location.
"Regarding the uploads of several JKT48 members who were seen at a similar location, we can convey that the documentation was taken a few days after the event took place, and only displaying the rest of the existing birthday decorations. Thus, no involvement of the members was found in the surprise event," they explained.

"The results of the investigation conclude that there are no violations of the applicable rules or work ethics," the statement said.
From the results of the investigation and evaluation, Fritz will return to carry out his duties after being deactivated. Management also apologized for the noise that occurred because of this case.
"Based on the evaluation, the staff concerned will return to carry out their duties with a full commitment to work professionally, in line with the values upheld by IDN and JKT48. We realize that this situation has caused unrest and various questions from the public, especially JKT48 fans. For that, we apologize for the inconvenience," said IDN.
Furthermore, management will hold discussions involving fans as an effort to communicate.
"As part of our commitment to building a more open and constructive communication space, KT48 will hold discussion sessions in several cities starting August 2025 with fans and the community."
Many fans show dissatisfied, but on the other hand they also appreciate the discussion discourse to hear the complaints of the fans.
"What is being investigated is not the cake, it's just the peak. Try the investigation Kakack as well as the management problem for at least the past year, which has made fans demand the management (the wall) to clean up. But okay if in the future there is a discussion room," said one fan in response to the above statement.
